Hi - I must not have completed my first user registration. My email server info had not been entered at the time. Now I have a user name that I cannot reset a password for and get a message that the name is missing in the password system. Can I add the name to \var\www\twiki\data\.htpasswd and be allowed to reset the password? Can I remove the user and reregister some other way? It is a user name that I will need after upgrading. Thanks. I am using template login Thanks Scott

Discussion and Answer

To remove a (partially crated) user do this:

• Remove data/Main/JimmyNeutron.txt*
• Remove JimmyNeutron entry in .htpasswd
• Using browser, edit Main.TWikiUsers page and remove JimmyNeutron bullet.

Alternatively, add the user to .htpasswd, with encrypted pwd of another user and proper e-mail address, then reset the password.
